I wouldn't have thought Marcus Davis would have minded fighting Fitch but I guess the UFC doesn't want to use Marcus like that. Kinda looks like the UFC is trying to have their cake and eat it too by matching Fitch and Karo up with lesser opponents so they have an abundance of riches when it comes to choosing the next Welterweight challenger. Let us hope that the MMA gods smile on them and there aren't two massive upsets... This fight kinda came from left field.

With that said, everyone is still clamoring for Fitch and Karo to face off for a title shot. With the next championship bout being in April the earliest we could see another battle for the belt would be late July/early August but typically the UFC waits longer in between title bouts. Despite Karo's claims that he is going to get a title shot as long as he wins his next bout, the fact still remains that at this juncture there's nothing that warrants Karo getting bumped in line ahead of Fitch. Theoretically, if both Fitch and Karo win their bouts in March and April, respectively, we could see a #1 contenders fight in July and the next title bout before the end of the year. The thing about this whole situation is it rides on certain people winning certain fights and no injuries occuring. When you try to plan to far ahead in MMA or in life, things usually don't go your way. With that said, it's entirely possible that either Karo or Fitch could lose their next bout, guaranteeing the title shot to the other instead. This will be a good fight.

Wilson in the welterweight division might be one of their best prospects. Certainly a really good replacement, and should be a good fight as well.
